Train Ride Back

"I'm going to be 17 in 4 days!" Tori yelled in excitement while walking through the compartment door. Inside were Lily, Kate, Alice and Megan.

"We know!" They replied.

"So Megan how is he?" Lily asked.

"Who?" She asked confused.

"We spent hours looking for a guy for you and you don't even remember!" Kate yelled.

"Oooooh him! Yeah thank you guys so much. He's perfect." She said.

"Well I have to go. I promised him I would meet up with him. Bye!" Megan said walking out the door.

Her face turned hard as soon as she reached for the door. She held her head high, and walked away.

"What was that about?" Sirius asked walking through the door.

"Oh I don't know. You're the one who dumped her." Tori said glaring.

"On the night of the dance!" Kate said.

"You don't dump them that night! Especially when you asked them out the same day. That's just wrong." Lily said.

"Sorry, she was getting annoying. She talks way too much." Sirius said shrugging.

"So? Tori talks a lot too. You don't do anything about that." Lily said.

"Yeah…hey! What's that supposed to mean!" Tori said scowling at Lily.

"But Megan was different. She would just talk about…well…nothing. At least Tori talks about…err…something." The young boy said trying to think of an excuse.

"How do you talk about nothing?" Kate asked rubbing her head.

"Well…umm…when Megan starts talking about how ugly her sister's new shirt is. I don't care how ugly her shirt is and I don't even care about her sister! She'll just keep going on about stuff I don't care. But Tori talks about her…hair—"

"And you care about her hair?" Lily cut in.

"No…yes…can we please change the subject. Megan is way gone. Idump girlsall the time, why are you doing this to me now?" Sirius asked looking defeated.

"Because she's our friend. Anyway, where's the rest of your crew?" Tori said.

"Yeah like Potter. I was wondering why my hair wasn't turning a different color." Lily said checking out her hair.

"Oh. Um…he's helping Remus." Sirius said starting to get a little nervous.

"With what?" Lily asked still confused.

Kate and Tori knew what he was talking about.

Sirius got really red thinking of a reason.

"Remus got hurt really badly two nights ago. So James is just helping him with his wounds." Tori said quickly.

"Why are you here Black? Shouldn't you be a friend and help him out?" Lily asked.

"Oh yeah. I almost forgot. Lily, there's a letter for you. It's from your sister. I found it on the ground. I have no clue how it got there or anything or even why it was there." Sirius said turning to Lily and pulling a piece of paper out of his pocket.

"Why from Petunia? And why didn't she just tell me? I just saw her this morning. How did it get on the ground?" Lily looked thoughtful yet worried.

"Maybe she snuck it in your back pocket." Kate suggested.

"Your sister is weird." Tori said.

Lily opened the letter and read it out loud.

Lily,

Don't send any owls the next two weeks. My fiancé will be coming to visit mom and dad a couple times and I don't want him to think that our family isn't normal.

Petunia

"She's such an idiot. What a stupid letter." Sirius said reading the letter.

"I say you send as many owls as you can to your house. That'll show her." Tori said smiling proudly.

"That's my girl!" Sirius said patting Tori on the back.

Tori just looked at him like he was crazy and scooted away.

"She didn't even say please!" Kate said.

"Please?" Tori said.

"Uh huh." Kate said.

Tori just shook her head.

"Lily, you and me are the only sane ones in the world." Tori said looking at Lily.

The redhead was fuming now, muttering all the cuss words she could think off.

"I take that back. I'm the only sane person on this earth."

Tori lied back looking at her surrounding. Sirius was trying to do the chicken dance, but couldn't remember how it started, Kate was mumbling about magic words and pleases, and Lily was reciting some cuss words under her breath. Wow, she had the strangest friends.

"Check mate."

"What? How is that possible? This is not right. That's four times in a row!" James yelled.

Remus grinned.

"Five. I beat you five times in a row." The blond said.

"The first one didn't count. Wormtail turned me into a cow! I could barely move the pieces! I had no fingers!" James cried.

"Hey it's not my fault! I warned you. But you still went ahead and turned my hair blue." Peter said looking up from his magazine.

James, Remus, and Peter were in the room right next to the girls and Sirius. It was hard for Remus to walk so they decided to keep him company.

"I'm bored." Remus said.

"Then what do you suggest we do, Oh Wise One." James said.

"You guys are the ones who are supposed to be entertaining me!" Remus said defending himself.

"Moony, I turned Peter into a cat, I turned his hair blue, he turned me into a cow, we danced to the Macarena, I put 3 bows on Peter's hair, we played exploding snap and wizard chess, I read you 8 books, I made a portrait of you, I showed you 5 card tricks and YOU SAY YOU'RE BORED!" James yelled.

"Yes." Remus squeaked.

"I HAVE BEEN ENTERTAINING YOU SINCE THE SECOND WE GOT INTO THE TRAIN AND YOU SAY YOU'RE BORED! I'VE DONE EVERYTHING IN THE WORLD TO KEEP YOU BUSY YET YOU WANT MORE! I EVEN DRESSED UP THE CHOCOLATE FROGS AND MADE THEM DANCE FOR YOU! BUT DO I GET A THANK YOU OR A THANKS PRONGSIE OR HEY YOU'VE WORKED YOUR BUTT OFF AND I REALLY APPRECIATE WHAT YOU'VE DONE FOR ME! NO! I GET A I'M BORED! WELL I'LL SHOW YOU WHAT BEING BORED IS LIKE!" and with that, James Potter walked out the door.

Remus flinched.

"Wormtail?" Remus asked nervously.

"Yes?" The small boy asked.

"Wanna play exploding snap?" Remus said smiling shyly.

Peter looked at him.

Then at the compartment door.

Then back at him.

Then the door.

Then him.

Then the door.

Then him.

He took his magazine and walked out, leaving the poor teenager alone.

Tell me how it was. Sorry this wasn't so long. I'm going to be able to update a lot since I'm leaving soon. But I'll try to get as much in as possible (if you review). PLEASE REVIEW! And I need more ideas! I can't think of anything else to write about.
